Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Meteorology
  • Global warming

His primary scientific interests are in Glacier, Climate change, Climatology, Precipitation and Surface runoff. His research integrates issues of Seismology, Debris and Remote sensing in his study of Glacier. His work deals with themes such as Terrain, Aerial survey and Digital elevation model, which intersect with Climate change.

His Climatology research includes elements of Global warming and Climate model. Walter W. Immerzeel has included themes like Structural basin, Drainage basin, Hydrology, Snow and Monsoon in his Precipitation study. His studies deal with areas such as Water balance, Streamflow and Hydrology as well as Surface runoff.

His most cited work include:

  • Climate change will affect the Asian water towers. (1748 citations)
  • Consistent increase in High Asia's runoff due to increasing glacier melt and precipitation (429 citations)
  • Consistent increase in High Asia's runoff due to increasing glacier melt and precipitation (429 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Walter W. Immerzeel mainly investigates Glacier, Climatology, Climate change, Snow and Precipitation. His Glacier research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Debris and Digital elevation model. His Climatology study incorporates themes from Global warming, Climate model and Downscaling.

His biological study deals with issues like Water resources, which deal with fields such as Water resource management. His study on Snow also encompasses disciplines like

  • Drainage basin, which have a strong connection to Structural basin,
  • Atmospheric sciences that intertwine with fields like Eddy covariance. His Precipitation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Weather Research and Forecasting Model, Hydrology, Water cycle, Forcing and Spatial heterogeneity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Glacier (65.57%)
  • Climatology (37.74%)
  • Climate change (36.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Glacier (65.57%)
  • Physical geography (24.53%)
  • Snow (30.19%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Glacier, Physical geography, Snow, Climatology and High mountain. The Glacier study combines topics in areas such as Debris, Sea level and Precipitation. His study in Snow is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Elevation, Global warming and Ice sheet.

In his research on the topic of Climatology, Spatial heterogeneity is strongly related with Representative Concentration Pathways. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Net radiation, Vortex and Climate change. His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Meltwater, Anomaly and Surge.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Importance and vulnerability of the world's water towers (152 citations)
  • Manifestations and mechanisms of the Karakoram glacier Anomaly (34 citations)
  • Partitioning the uncertainty of ensemble projections of global glacier mass change (12 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Climate change
  • Meteorology
  • Global warming

Walter W. Immerzeel mainly focuses on Glacier, Snow, Climatology, Climate change and Physical geography. The concepts of his Snow study are interwoven with issues in Monsoon and Relative humidity. His Climatology research integrates issues from Elevation, Representative Concentration Pathways and Scale.

His research integrates issues of Meltwater, Pollutant and Precipitation in his study of Climate change. His Precipitation research includes themes of Hydrology, Dominance, Discharge, Nutrient and Land degradation. As a part of the same scientific study, Walter W. Immerzeel usually deals with the Physical geography, concentrating on High mountain and frequently concerns with Global warming, Evapotranspiration, Forcing and Glacier mass balance.
